At reporter request. Seems 1.1.0 came with a fix for this.

Please close this ticket, I can't replicate the problem anymore.

Could you attach a file with the offending line in it?
It looks like LogStash crashes when illegal content comes in.
Maybe it's possible to trap error, log and ignore data so LogStash continues to work?
Otherwise something similar to $str !~ s/[^[:ascii:]]//g would also do the job
In this case it appeared to be the copyright symbol which caused the problem
